Chapter 21: The Call of the Void

Mo Chen felt that he had had a very good quality sleep, but in his sleep, he vaguely heard something calling to him.

The call seemed to come from a far, far away, but it was like the murmur of the void around him, like a cozy lullaby.

When he woke up, nothing happened.

I just feel refreshed, as if full of vitality, the only fly in the ointment is - it seems that it is not yet dawn at this time, but it is close to four o'clock in the morning.

Mo Chen, who sat on the edge of the bed and changed into pajamas, thought about it for a while, and found that he had cleaned up the room, removed the cages of chickens and ducks, and then went to take a bath......

When it was time to go to bed, it seemed like it was close to eleven o'clock at night.

At that time, he thought that he would be able to sleep until dawn, but he didn't expect that he would wake up naturally at this point in time.

Sure enough, I have really been strengthened...... And this reinforcement is evident in all aspects.

Sufficient physical strength and vitality, excellent recovery, not only when you are injured, but also when you are sleeping, resting, and rejuvenating.

"I used to worry about not getting enough sleep, but now it's finally going to be the other way around?"

Looking at the alarm clock on the table with some distress, he walked to the window and opened the curtains, and looked at the night view of the city and the dim night, Mo Chen suddenly felt a sense of confusion that he didn't know what to do.

Bisheng woke up at this time period, and he was in good spirits, and he couldn't sleep at all, so it was impossible for him to run to continue studying the other world on the other side of the Rubik's Cube now, right?

He sat on the edge of the bed and bent down, looked at the bottom of the bed, and confirmed that his gold finger, as well as the sabers of the city police who broke the law, and the pistols that dishonored the world, were all under the bed.

Even in his sleep, his perception was not restricted, and he was sure to be able to detect it whenever someone approached.

However, he doesn't have absolute confidence, so he still needs to confirm it with his own eyes to be reassured. It's just that even then, he didn't take the cube out.

- Please, before going to bed, he just got off the book, and it's not a real game on the other side, there is no element of brushing, and he doesn't plan to fight hard.

Or...... Why don't you just start researching the problem about magical abilities, after all, the sooner you solve it, the sooner you can feel at ease?

Raising his left hand and looking at his Outsider Mark, Mo Chen blinked and thought about it, then looked at the corner of the room, tried to use the flicker teleportation again, and then got a disappointed mood as a result.

Sure enough, it can't be solved so easily, incompatibility is incompatibility, and you won't get another result just because you sleep well.

Of course, Mo Chen mainly felt too tired before, so he went to rest and sleep for a night, instead of naively thinking that his magic ability would automatically recover as soon as he woke up.

- He was twenty years old before and after the crossing, and he was no longer a child, so he never had the luxury of expecting such an unrealistic "good thing" to happen.

It's just that no matter what, if you want to solve this matter, then you must need Mo Chen to take the initiative to act.

But then again, what if you take the initiative yourself? You can do it yourself, but you also have to know how to do it, but now you don't even have a general idea, what's the use of having a decision?

He had a headache from it, but now he had just woken up, tired and in good spirits.

Coupled with the fact that it was the dead of night at the moment, it was obviously a good time to think about the problem, so he simply stood up and walked to the desk and sat down. He opened the drawer and pulled out a notebook, then divergent thinking, and quickly wrote down the various keywords that came to mind—

"Void", "Dream", "Soul", "Consciousness at the Time of Dying", "Coma", "Vision", "Whale", "Ocean", ......

Mo Chen tried his best to recall the "setting" of the game with the help of such behavior. Although the time is relatively long, the impression has been a little blurred, but he can only do this, after all, there is no corresponding fantasy work in this world.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't mind looking up information on the Internet.

Regarding the "Void Realm", the meaning of existence is unclear, and the nature of existence is a wonderful existence similar to a mirror image of the real world.

In the history of the World of Disgrace, there have been many mortals who have entered and exited the Void Realm because people's consciousness will enter the Void Realm unconsciously, such as those with high spiritual vision or those who are dying.

They may all get a glimpse of the Void for such reasons.

Stories like this are actually quite common:

When a man was crushed under the wheels of a carriage or had died in some other occasional tragedy, it was assumed that he was dead. But as soon as the weight was removed, they quickly regained consciousness!

Even so, the man left this world for a moment.

What happened to them during that brief period of death? Dark? Unconscious? No, not really! Their statement, like many people before them, said that they had gone somewhere, and it could be described vividly.

It's just that these people who are too close to the void and have too specific impressions of the scene in it are generally driven mad by this, and most of their final fate is to be captured and persecuted by the Overseers of the Church of Living Beings.

And according to the hint in the game, it is that after countless years, the Void will swallow up the real world.

Anton Sokolov, a scientist interested in black magic and the void, wrote in his book: "Although this is a journey that will devour countless lives, all cosmic celestial bodies will eventually be dragged into the void and erased from existence forever." ”

Putting aside this general prophecy of apocalypticism, it can be seen that the realm of the void has long been a well-known but difficult to understand existence in the world of shame.

It's no secret.

In addition, the whales in the ocean also seem to have a deep connection with the Void Realm, and when Mo Chen entered the Void Realm, he once saw the whale corpses floating in the dark and boundless space.

In that world, the sea was far more mysterious and weird than the ocean in Mo Chen's cognition. In the ocean, where people depend on for their survival, but little is known about it, there are many unspeakable and unknown creatures.

Giant sea beasts are often associated with ancient legends, and whales are the beings most deeply associated with the Void, and most of them are made of whalebones for runes, bone charms, or mediums for various magical rituals that can enhance magical power.

It is even rumored that the first generation of Outsider, the primordial god of the Void Realm-

Its true form is a gigantic Leviathan whale.

That's right, the current Outsider Demon is the one Mo Chen has encountered, and he is not the first spokesperson of the Void Realm, nor will he be the last. He is unique, but could also be killed at some point in the future by a catastrophic event.

The Void Realm will constantly look for its own spokesperson, and the Outsider is not the first, nor will he be the last.

He is only the current Void God, only alive for more than 4,000 years, and there are indeed other entity wills in the Void Realm that have existed before him, some can last for thousands of years, and sometimes the gap in the middle will be very long.

But each god bears the responsibility of creating its temporal or procedural properties until it disappears or is replaced.

……

……

Maybe it's because his memory and brain function have also been strengthened, or maybe it's just an illusion, when he slowly recalled the key words, Mo Chen did remember a lot of things.

Slowly, when the entire page of the notebook gradually became full of words, a vague general framework gradually emerged in his mind.

To be precise, it was the idea that had a context, and he felt that he had grasped the key.

"At this time, there must be a lot of people asleep, right? But I don't know if anyone happens to dream and meets the conditions......"

Mo Chen put down the writing pen, stared at the words on the paper and pondered, "As for the consciousness at the moment of dying, the period of short death is ......"

"Could it be that I still have to go to the hospital?"

He thought for a while, felt the thoughts in his mind gradually become clearer, then turned his head to look at the night outside the window, and after thinking about it for a while, he got up and planned to go out.

He changed out of his pajamas and hid something by the way—he wasn't going to take the contraband out or anything so that nothing might cause trouble.

turned on the phone and glanced at the time, and then Mo Chen found that the phone screen was a little cracked, and he couldn't help grinning.

He doesn't remember when it went wrong, but it's the same thing when he thinks about it, it's good if it can be used anyway, and if it can't be used, he can just change it again.

There wasn't much noteworthy news on the Internet, after all, half a month had passed, and nothing else had happened since then, so the panic and riots caused by the astronomical accident naturally began to recover.

In addition, the above deliberately restricts, guides and controls the trend of public opinion, and appeases the people's emotions as much as possible, so basically, they are slowly returning to normal now.

Of course, it's not completely normal, after all, the impact of the previous celestial accident is indeed too huge.

In the past, Mo Chen couldn't even find a place to buy things, and many shops and shopping malls were affected and closed, perhaps affected by those remarks about the end of the world.

But now, it seems that all this is slowly recovering-

Leaving home, walking out of the community, and arriving on the street, Mo Chen saw the commercial street opposite at a glance, even though it had not yet returned to prosperity, it had returned to normal.

At least the closed shops and shopping malls have reopened one after another, and if Mo Chen didn't run there that day, the whole street was empty and deserted.

He went there because he heard that there was a place to teach people how to fight, and he wanted to hold on to his feet temporarily. But the place was also closed at the time, and he could only return disappointed.

But now it seems that it was right not to learn fighting at that time, after all, it was right to learn fighting skills in a proper manner, and I don't know how long it will take to have actual combat ability, and the fighting skills trained by rules and regulations -

There's no point in facing real killing, and even the rules of the fight can diminish your chances of survival.

Is there still less news of professional boxers being beaten to death by street gangsters?

As for learning gunnery or something, he's even more mentally retarded, and he's not dizzy yet. After all, shooting sports clubs or something, too, are also regular target shooting, and it is impossible to really train your gunfight ability.

Besides, taking a step back, guns are not allowed in the country, and he has no way to get a gun - spending a lot of money and time to learn the skill of using a weapon that cannot find a weapon, like the art of slaying a dragon, this is simply something that a fool X would do.

As for smuggling arms or something......

I'm sorry, but he wasn't a super agent or an urban soldier in his previous life, and he didn't have that kind of channel.

Moreover, the impact of the previous celestial accidents is foreseeable that it will be severely cracked down for a long time in the future...... How stupid would it be for someone to pick this time to give away someone's head?
